For this year’s meeting we welcome papers on questions of action. Such considerations might include (but are in no sense limited to):

voluntarism
collectivity (in aesthetics, media, politics)
intentionality
acting (in film, media, theatre/performance)
acting out
willfulness
riotous behaviour
interaction/interactivity
inaction/inactivity
performative utterances/actions
performativity
neo-Arendtian accounts of action
media as action
action in perception
decision
stimulation

Please send a 250 word abstract, five-entry bibliography, and brief bio (toworldpicturejournal /at/ gmail.com)  by 30 June.
